Astrology 06 Virgo

In the sixth lecture of the Astrology course, the zodiacal sign Virgo (August 23 - September 22) is explained.

Virgo—the zodiacal sign of the virgin—is a beautiful zodiacal sign that has a very profound esotericism.

When we study the Greek-Roman mythology, we discover that Mercury - which is the planet that rules or that is in the house of Virgo - is the messenger of the Gods.  In Greek terms, Mercury is called Hermes; this word Hermes is utilized in different ways, for instance, in order to imply that behind certain phrases or terminologies or words, there is something Hermetic, something hidden, which is knowledge, wisdom.  That is why Hermes-Mercury was qualified as the one that brings the word of God; he is the messenger of the Gods.  Pausanias, the great geographer, in his fifth book, shows Mercury sharing a common altar with Jupiter (a curious Prawn gem represents Mercury enthroned and bearing the attributes of Jupiter) this is very significant and profound. We have to inquire, to dig, to delve into the waters in order to discover the mystery of Mercury.
